"Come and help me in the work of the
monastery of Saint Damian, for in that place later on
will be ladies by whose renowned and holy way of living
our heavenly Father will be glorified throughout all his
holy Church."

-Testament

The distinctive marks which
identify our community are: prayerful collaboration with
and faithful support of the Catholic Church, our Holy
Father and our local Church; simple and sisterly
community sharing; careful observance of papal enclosure
as an indispensable aid for a life of contemplative
prayer; perpetual exposition and adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament; traditional practices of fast and
total abstinence; full-length habit and bare feet; and
the Liturgy of the Hours with Matins at midnight.
